The areas of special flood hazard for the Borough of Alpha, Community
No. 340576, are identified and defined on the following documents
prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency: the flood Insurance
Rate Map for Warren County, New Jersey (All Jurisdictions) as shown
on Index and Panel Nos. 34041C0291E, 34041C0292E, 34041C0293E, and
34041C0294E, whose effective date is September 29, 2011.

The above documents are hereby adopted and declared to be a part
of this chapter. The Flood Insurance Study and maps are on file at
the Borough's Municipal Building, 1001 East Boulevard, Alpha,
New Jersey 08865.

Violation of the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply
with any of its requirements, including violations of conditions and
safeguards established in connection with conditions, shall constitute
a violation of the Borough Code.

Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any
of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not more
than $2,000 or shall be imprisoned for not more than two days, or
both, for each violation and, in addition, shall pay all costs and
expenses involved in the case.

This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair
any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However,
where this chapter and other ordinances, easements, covenants, or
deed restrictions conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more
stringent restrictions shall prevail.

The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and
engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare
occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes.
This chapter does not imply that land outside areas of special flood
hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding
or flood damages.

This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the Borough
of Alpha, any officer or employee thereof or the Federal Insurance
Administration for any flood damages that result from reliance on
this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
